Construction is in full swing around the Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN). Customers and passengers will notice construction teams expanding, building, and rehabilitating infrastructure around airport property and in the terminal. 

Coming in September, the grand opening of BZN's B Concourse BZN Market, located inside security between gates B2 and B3, will welcome passengers who are seeking quick food options. The BZN Market will have additional seating and retail options. 

BZN's state-of-the-art in-line baggage handling system will be completed this year. This system upgrade will allow airline staff to move baggage from check-in counters to aircraft swiftly and efficiently. 

Terminal parking and curb construction is still underway at BZN. We recently announced the opening of the new one-hour free parking lot! For more information on this parking area, click here
